Note 274 — Chapter XII · EGYPT. (continued 2)
William P. (William Purdie) Dickson translation
In Bâmanghati (district Singhbhum) westward from Calcutta, a great treasure of gold coins of Roman emperors (Gordian and Constantine are named), is said to have come to light (Beglar, in Cunningham’s Archaeological Survey of India, vol. xiii. p. 72); but such an isolated find does not prove that regular intercourse extended so far. In Further India and China Roman coins have very seldom been found.
